take my flaws

so i dropped my phone in the toilet.
no, it was  not because i was on the phone.
no, i had not gone yet (maybe that was to much info).
yes, i'm super embarrassed.

so maybe i have road rage.
yes, i yell at every car that gets in my way. its a four hour drive home and i don't want to be slowed.
yes, i passed 15 cops and did not get pulled over once for how fast i was.
no, i'm not bragging.

how to be british

1. eat homemade fish and chips (or for picky elsa and jace, battered chicken) 
and attempt to make crumpets for tea time. or you could just make muffins.  

2. try your best to imitate the fanciful accent and elaborate with slang such as 
"chin wag", "cheerio", and "cheers". 

3. adore all british things. mainly harry potter, adele, the royal wedding, and fine culture. and clothes. 

only spend it with the best of friends and roommates. its much funner that way.

as a way of getting together with new friends and having fun, we've started a bi-monthly tradition of experiencing another country's culture with food, costume, music, movies, and the occasional game.
with our excitement to study abroad, london foreign night was planned and the fun began. and while most of our friends may have not completely understood the point or embraced the feeling of the british lifestyle, it was completely fun nonetheless.

i can't wait to experience the finest of things with my dear best friend in good ole blighty and i couldn't think of a better person to go with. 

p.s. stay tuned for other adventures in foreign night at 106.

yes, its true

I have an obsessive personality. When I see a movie and I like it a lot, i'll see 4, maybe 5 more times. i find a new cookie, i buy two boxes and eat them until they're gone. i hate myself and i love myself. because of this embarrassing but totally true trait, i have learned to just stay away from certain things. tanning-i would become a doritto. mountain dew-a caffeine addict. and consequently, i choose not to start new tv programs, or else, well....it will consume my time with the rest of my tv shows. and yet, this past weekend, it happened.
The slow but sure strain of realizing that you've become addicted to yet another tv show.

Step 1: the first step undoubtedly, was the fact that i ACTUALLY wanted to watch another episode and then it got real when i learned from jace that it was 3 am.  yikes, there went 7 hours of my night.

Step 2. next, my embarrassment for having anything to even do with the show changed and i admitted that i enjoyed watching the darn thing. ok, maybe i straight up said i loved it.

Step 3. it then got a bit more serious when i had a dream about it and woke up thinking of the next possible time i could begin to watch it that day

Step 4. i accepted the fact that i loved it a bit too much after i started crying when lonely boy left S...and when i started speaking in the shows catchy nicknames and terms. it was just too much

Step 5. and then there's full fledged obsession when i began talking about the characters and their inherent lives and problems, as if they are real people and i can help them out with my advice. that was fun...ny.

other signs of current obsession for yes.........




gossip girl. thank you jacelyn mariah for getting me hooked on yet another tv series. yes, i used to make fun of you, but i guess you were right. it is fabulous. i take back all those countless times i teased you for obsessing over gossip girl.

cambodia

today my friends, i wish to write about cambodia. for three years i have wanted to travel to the homeland of the angkor temples. though its not for the temples themselves (though it would be a plus), or even the light of phnom penh.  its for the trash. yes, i said trash.

This is exactly why I want to go. Please watch the video. It's so so good. Well, if you're one of those people that sometimes likes to cry at sad things. And if you don't watch the video, I'll tell you about it anyways. There is a school for children that live in trash districts because they have no money and nowhere else to live. And I want to work in that school and play with the children.


i'm just a sucker for these little adorable children. they are so lovely.
